days late on this but fyi they 100% will not and do not ban for this and I haven't even heard of a single ban for this in like 4 years. like 2/3 of the playerbase uses a flask macro to trigger 4 flasks with a single button press (or eventually just automates flasks with 'used when full' from instilling orbs)

path of exile is a game where its creator SAYS that macros are illegal but unless you have adamantium wrist tendons you're going to give yourself RSI if you don't use them so it's just like "don't stream yourself activating them"

Nooooo he hit his friend with a shovel for having sex with his girlfriend, or something like that. The exact reason escapes me but it wasn’t his girlfriend who got a shovelin’

Yeah he attacked a friend with a shovel over his friend sleeping with his girlfriend. I think it led to him going to jail/prison for a stint? It's why he got that tattoo:

Play Pathfinder, it's better. :troll:

Pathfinder 2e sounds pretty solid, honestly. I'm tempted to try it out if I ever get an itch for another D&D-type RPG.

As far as Paladin characters go, I was always fond of the Crusader class from the 3.5e Tome of Battle, which was basically a revamped Paladin centered more around committing to some "cause" that could be a god or could be something abstract like love or justice. The Tome of Battle classes had some really solid maneuver mechanics and the Crusader was an absolute tanky beast in play.

5th edition at least lets you be a paladin without being either Lawful or Good.

I was wondering if I stumbled into a time portal back to 2007 because yeah lawful good paladin restrictions haven't been a thing since 3.5

Having played it for the better part of six months (both running and as a player) it's pretty rad, and i'm saying this as someone who didn't really like PF1. They did a pretty good job of maintaining a level of customizability for characters while at the same time trimming down any feats that are considered must-haves or your character is trashed.

I think the first time I played it was with some goons; I don't remember a lot of the details but we solved the problem of a giant molebeast that was rampaging because it had been woken from its hibernation early by casting the summon a pile of dead leaves spell to give it a nice comfy bed in its burrow and improvising mole lullabies (mostly earthworm-related)

ICON looks like it'll be great, and I love LANCER so I'm excited for it when they finalize stuff and probably do another crowdfund to publish the book.

I love my Ryuutama book. It's so colorful and nice to flip through, and it has great illustrations. I ran a play-by-post type Ryuutama game in a discord with friends, but it kind of died off because PbP is awful to run the minute you have to do some kind of "everyone take a turn" combat situation.

Love Blades and its derivatives. I'm running a Blades in the Dark game and also playing in a Court of Blades game right now.

also Shadow of the Demon Lord, mechanically, is pretty tight and easy to play. The lore/setting has a lot of fun ideas but also a lot of super edgy stuff in it (which can be fun too, also the art is fantastic), but if you're just looking for a system to rip into to play your own homebrew setting in, check it out.

Who are you to glizzy gobble El Vago's marshmussy?

Late to paladin chat but the worst time I had playing a paladin was with a GM who wouldn't separate in-character knowledge with player knowledge. My paladin fell because he "lied" to city guards that were looking for the party rogue. Apparently because I, the player, knew where the rogue was hiding, my paladin (who hadn't seen said rogue that day) automatically knew where he was and was lying if he said he didn't. Stil a better GM than the one who tried to sexually assault my character with his DMPC faerie dragon.

i usually pick paladin / defender characters lol. it's because the early d&d stuff and parodies i saw before actually playing ALWAYS had a mace and shield paladin, and everyone else wants to be a tiefling arteficer or something exotic. a good paladin player is the straight man in a comedy routine

I've always wanted to play a fat cleric with a southern drawl that's a thinly veiled parody of a bible belt redneck, and do it mechanically where he has INT as a dump stat but max wisdom. Also he's obsessed with cooking and tinkering with mechanics. And since every fantasy character has a name that tests your dyslexia, he'd be named Thibodeaux

I almost never play cleric or paladin characters but my friend and I came up with an idea for a pirate cleric that I really want to play. Just a hard-partying, rowdy pirate who became a devoted cleric of whatever the setting's sea god is so that he could help ensure safe and quick sailing and call down the sea god's wrath on any pirate hunters who might be pursuing them.

Doesn't even have to be a god in D&D, you can just be a cleric of some vague spiritual concept if you prefer. One of the party members in Planescape: Torment is explicitly an atheist cleric.

You can absolutely be a cleric of partying if your DM isn't a total buzzkill. E: or yeah just a trickster god priest, always a good time

On the topic of clerics, my brother once played a non-talking St. Bernard cleric where it was unclear if it was just a dog that had stolen a bunch of potions and a mitre.
